I mean, what more could you ask for? A GM that explores everything but won’t be taken advantage of is generally a great thing and quite rare.

The "hard line in the sand" part of this statement is doing a lot of work, yeoman's work, for a GM of a franchise that has made by far the least amount of NHL player for NHL player trades in the league over the past 7 years. The fact that Treliving has this reputation is a credit to his massive efforts of working the media players who cover the NHL more than any efforts he makes to make hockey trades.
